SG Support Item Select Sep '23

It is inconvenient to not know how many support items you have when grinding items.

We are working on implementing a display to show the number of available support items in the Item Lab during an October update.

I would like to take screenshots with cel-shaded and non-cel-shaded characters together.

We are working on a future update to allow different cel-shading settings for your character, other player's characters, and NPCs. We are also working on cel-shading settings for each individual character, even for different characters on the same account.

Please note that these settings will be moved from the Options menu to the Salon.

Could you make it possible to reset the value shown on the DPS display?

We plan to release a chat command to reset the DPS display.

It was previously announced that there were plans to add another effect level to the Generate Add-on Skill Function. What will the lower limit be?

Add-on Skill 4, which is generated using many Class EXCubes, will have a lower limit of 15.

Add-on Skill 5, which is generated using special new items, will have a lower limit of 20.

Are there plans to add new Photon Arts or Techniques?

There are no plans to add new PA or Techniques in the foreseeable future. However, we plan to implement a system to modify the performance of existing PAs and Techniques.
